Optical nonlinearity in a strongly interacting Rydberg atom ensemble
Lu Qin, Zeyun Shi, Xingdong Zhao +2
Rydberg atoms, characterized by their giant polarizability and strong long-range interactions, provide an ideal platform for exploring optical nonlinearities. By coupling light to…
Stable 3D vortex solitons of high topological charge in a Rydberg-dressed Bose-Einstein condensate with spin-orbit coupling
Yanchao Zhang, Chao Hang, Boris A. Malomed +1
Stable vortex solitons (VSs) are objects of great interest for fundamental studies and various applications, including particle trapping, microscopy, data encoding, and matter-wave…
Shock wave generation and propagation in dissipative and nonlocal nonlinear Rydberg media
Lu Qin, Chao Hang, Guoxiang Huang +1
We investigate the generation of optical shock waves in strongly interacting Rydberg atomic gases with a spatially homogeneous dissipative potential. The Rydberg atom interaction i…
Accessing and Manipulating Dispersive Shock Waves in a Nonlinear and Nonlocal Rydberg Medium
Chao Hang, Zhengyang Bai, Weibin Li +2
Dispersive shock waves (DSWs) are fascinating wave phenomena occurring in media when nonlinearity overwhelms dispersion (or diffraction). Creating DSWs with low generation power an…
Stable high-dimensional weak-light soliton molecules and their active control
Lu Qin, Chao Hang, Boris A. Malomed +1
Bound states of solitons, alias soliton molecules (SMs), are well known in one-dimensional (1D) systems, while making stable bound states of multidimensional solitons is a challeng…
Experimental Observation of Partial Parity-Time Symmetry and Its Phase Transition with a Laser-Driven Cesium Atomic Gas
Yongmei Xue, Chao Hang, Yunhui He +5
Realization and manipulation of parity-time (PT) symmetry in multidimensional systems are highly desirable for exploring nontrivial physics and uncovering exotic phenomena in non-H…
